Poor
nutrition affects every aspect of your life and that includes your sexual
health. Loss of libido and impotency are
two common complaints that can be linked either directly or indirectly to diet
and nutrition. The lack of certain
vitamins and minerals, and an excess of sugar in the bloodstream causing
diabetes, may be responsible for many of the physically related sexual health
problems.

Healthy sexual
function is successful only when the nerves and blood vessels connected with sexual
organs are healthy. In diabetes for
example, too much glucose in the blood is damaging to the lining of the blood
vessels. It also harms the nerves that carry signals from the sex
organs. What results is a lack of sexual sensation and/or inability to respond.
